Too much simple thinking without further thoughts.

#14 'Uselful'. That's a uselful word.

With the tallest person one, there would probably be smaller newborns

I like water based introspection over shower thoughts
curiousfoolish
If pi is what they say, it's an encoded list of absolutely everything. We just lack the ability to decode it.
Endlesslysara
Yes, but you can't buy the convenience of paying with $20's vs $1's, even with infinite $1's.
lonelysock
The second last one? It makes a lot more sense to put it in after you die.
ShamnusMcfee
You can infinite sets of different sizes. The math is way beyond my elementary understanding of numbers though.

My favourite was "why don't wheelchairs have pedals for when their arms get tired" -___-
KingNyuels
But ... this isn't a showerthought? This is just stupidity. And hopefully something for the Darwin Award in the future.

#3 you can kill yourself by doping. You really have to screw up to kill yourself auto-tuning
PhailRaptor
Except that's not at all why drugs are banned from pro athletics.
TravNel
Because the cereal companies are trying to make a profit and that means cutting costs.
lonelysock
Yes, and they want your cereal to go stale so you buy more
Falcar
It's significantly cheaper to seal of the normal way, heat press melts it into an air tight seal. Rolling the bag is still effective.
DutchyMcDutch
Isn't an "infinite number" a contradiction in terms? Infinite is a concept not a number.
distractedFreek
Take out number and try reading the thought again.
kayakninjas
Zip lock cereal bags exist. They just aren't common because there isn't enough of a demand.
distractedFreek
They're usually reserved for generic brands.
kayakninjas
True. Which is really a shame. Some of those taste like they went stale ages ago.
HamsterOnAGoat
Sometimes I say "I have a right to my opinion" when I know the other person's wrong, but don't have the energy to argue about it for hours
ThoughtfulTortuga
"know"
HamsterOnAGoat
oh I definitely know for sure, for example, some people have the audacity to say this site is wrong http://www.theflatearthsociety.org
ThoughtfulTortuga
Fools and infidels, the lot of 'em.
StrawberryJuice
#15 Possibly not true. It's not yet been proved that Pi contains every possible number combination.
KnightOfRuefulCountenance
I know for a fact it isn't true. pi actually only contains two letters
StrawberryJuice
Yooooou..... sunuvabeetch.
ApidaeEveryday
We have tools for a lot of the stimuli we can't sense biologically

mind blown...
caudata
I'm just here to make some vague, witless report of how some technicality mitigates these quips.
whotheflipdoithinkiam
Omg you're right!
HortlersLeftNut
Wait, wait. Ziploc bag cereal bags do exist.
imeanYUUUGE
Not on the good, name brand cereals though.

#34 I want to invent cloning solely for this purpose. Finally, court cases that are guaranteed to not be biased because of lawyers.
PhailRaptor
That would require a level of cloning that also copies neural connections exactly. Which we are not even sure is possible.
Ewanator
We weren't sure flying was possible only a few years before it was invented.
Camelspotting
Cloning has already been invented and that's not how it works.
Ewanator
We haven't cloned humans yet.
Ewanator
We haven't cloned humans yet.
SoMenSayThatImIntenseOrImInsane
Nature vs. nurture. There's no way for two people to have the exact same set of skills and mindset. They would just be identical.
Ewanator
If they are cloned, they will have the same biological body. Chances are, they will have very similar experiences as children (Same family).
distractedFreek
If they're cloned as children, this seems to imply they are cloned as adults.
SerOctopun
I don't think #2 is totally true because there are many types and ideas of infinity. But bc it's an idea, i guess we can say it's true...
jfkenn3dy
Think this is the first time I have thought about down voting a comment.
SerOctopun
Ok dear that's great have my upvote
nubs0112
Speaking mathematically this is true.
boringoregoncity
Any number multiplied by infinity is undefined, so it isn't true as far as I know
Fyros
If the solution for both is undefined that kinda makes them the same by default.
dephress
"There are many types of infinity" just doesn't sound right.
neithermenoryou
/1 Technically it is, though. The most simple example is that you have one infinity of positive numbers, but also infinite negative numbers.
dephress
Gotcha... But it's still just infinity of numbers. What's a more complicated example?
Daddyslittleupvotewhore
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-QoutHCu4o
neithermenoryou
/2 Now, the absolute sum of those two infinities must be bigger than either of those infinities.
neithermenoryou
/3 There are more examples because you have an infinite amount of numbers between each number, or different coordinates, etc. etc.
dephress
Ok, that does trip my mind out.
Macdog225
The key here is it says 'worth'. So there are 3 acceptable answers. The $20 is worth more, they're both worth the same, or they're (1)
Macdog225
both worthless. It depends on how inflation works. If both value exceed inflation, they're both worth the same, since they have the same 2
Macdog225
buying power. If the $1 falls behind inflation but the $20 stays ahead of inflation, the infinite $1 is worthless and the infinite $20 is 3
Macdog225
worth anything. If they both fall behind, then they're both worthless. So the sizes of the countable infinities matter less than their 4
Macdog225
relation to inflation. 5
chubb3478
#25 isn't necessarily true. They could have been born at 23 inches when others are born at 22 inches etc.
HeyitsAndrew
#25... Fuh... *Scrolls back up...1..2...3.....*
TheStigsShitPostingCousin
What about when he was a fetus
EdgeGod
Or even better, a sperm cell
chubb3478
Touche good sir!
daromander
Then you could say the size of the sperm or ova (female egg) might be slightly larger than someone else so they could still start out taller
M0uthHugMySpawnHammer
The spermatozoon could have been at ~60 micrometers while others were at ~55 micrometers
DanTheViking
But wuat about the fetus spermatozoid?
KingNyuels
I think it just means, that through growing, at some point he was exactly the same as everyone else (at some point 30cm e.g.) - but then I
KingNyuels
have to question live. Because then I have to decide at what point live starts. The ovum could be differently sized ... and ...
KingNyuels
"instant" abortion could lead to the falsification of this thought. Then this live never was the same size as the tallest person was.
KingNyuels
But maybe I am just translating it wrong into my language ... I ... don't know :'(

#2
theNilbogTroll
Actually, conceptually there are varying degrees of infinity iirc.
iAreNubcake
It's rather complex, but there's a fantastic video on the topic by VSauce if you're interested (or anyone else) https://youtu.be/SrU9YDoXE88
theMondayMonster
Although you are correct that there are varying degrees of infinity, in this case they would be of the same type (i.e. aleph-0).
theMondayMonster
Assuming that there are countably many bills of both types.
Imjustsohappy
In the end I would rather have an infinite 20$ bills because I don't wanna give someone 100 1$ instead of 5 20$
Amped41134
Strippers though
Enginere
Due to its increased convenience it's worth more then
Imjustsohappy
Exactly
MenTarK255000
But to cover an $18 debt or anything not a multiple of 20 the $1 is more convenient because who wants change back when you have infinite.
ShowMeBunnies
Why not just say "keep the change"?
MenTarK255000
Can't, jewish.
silentcrucifix
Paying a bill with 3 $20 bills makes you look rich. Paying a bill with 60 $1 bills makes you look like a stripper.
FoxyEllie
Then just make periodic trips to the bank where you deposit a ton of ones.
Imjustsohappy
But that's a waste of time and I value my time
FoxyEllie
But you don't need to work ever again in your life, which means you've gained quite a lot of spare time.
Imjustsohappy
But in the time of being at the bank I could read a book or do ummm adult things
Daddygeek84
At smaller clubs they just change them in with the manager. Manager fills register with singles, customers tip with their change, repeat.
Lovenkraft
#2 makes my eye twitch. Infinites are not equal. Just like how x^2 approaching infinity is less than x^3 approaching infinity. Basic math.
Veldareth
Thank you for pointing it out so I didn't have to.
Camelspotting
But effectively still true.
Imjustsohappy
Exactly there are bigger infinities and smaller. It's interesting to learn about
weeshful
THANK YOU!
BenSnow97
But if infinite number of bills existed, they would worth the same anyway: 0
EwGrooss
Both functions contain all positive values of Y. And for every value of X; X>0, X^20 will give you a bigger Y value than X^1. However... 1
pigno
Functions are f=x and g=20x not x^1 and x^20. Therefore if x goes to inf, lim f = lim g = inf. Both go inf with linear rate. 1
EwGrooss
In this case we have a hypothetical limit to Y of "All the Money", where both functions include the value of Y-Max, hence the confusion.
pigno
Plus Y must be the image space of those functions, not the variable set of values.
pigno
2 not exponentially. And both are countable infinities because bills are a discrete variable. So the shower thought is correct.
Coercivity
All infinite using the same mathematical function are the same size. Saying in a limit approaching infinite, x*1 and x*20 are the same
Lovenkraft
Yes and no. While they both approach "Infinity," the answer to both is "Infinity." Its circular logic as both infinites are still not equal.
pigno
False. Discrete infinities (dollar bills) are the same. Dense infinities are in the set of real numbers. The latter are very strange 1
pigno
Infinities. This is the Cantor discovery of different infinities.
FoxyEllie
The functional value is the same, though, as any value that you can take out of it to pay for something would never be able to deplete it.
Lovenkraft
No, it isn't. not all infinites are the same. Just like how there are countable and uncountable infinites in sets.
FoxyEllie
You pay for a $60 meal with 60 ones. Or, you pay for it with 3 twenties. How many ones or twenties do you have left?
Lovenkraft
You are trying to use whole integers to argue infinite logic. It is not the same.
weeshful
you are wrong. sometimes you have to divide one infinity by another in math, and the answer can be 1, but it could also be anything else
FoxyEllie
Show me a real world situation where you have to pay infinity dollars for something and I'll concede that they're not functionally the same.
weeshful
you are buying as many tacos as possible. if you use infinity 20$ bills, you will get 20x as many tacos as the 1$ scenario. (1/2)
